Lead Software Engineer

Job description

Founding Engineer | Clean Energy Startup | £100k+base + significant equity |

Hybrid (3 days/week in central London)

Tech Stack - TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, GCP or AWS

If you’re a founding engineer looking for real ownership, equity, and impact — this is for you.

You’d be joining a newly funded clean-energy startup that’s just launched its first production product and is now heading toward a seed round later this year.

This is a chance to get in right at the beginning and help shape:

• the product
• the architecture
• and the future engineering team

Why this could be your next move

You’d be building technology that connects things like EVs, chargers, batteries and solar into one intelligent platform — helping make clean energy systems programmable and smarter.

This is real infrastructure for the energy transition, not just another SaaS tool.

What you get

• £100k+ base salary
• Equity with genuine upside
• Founding-level ownership
• Clear path into a future Head of Engineering role (if you want)
• Early customers already live

You wouldn’t be inheriting a legacy codebase — you’d be helping decide what gets built and how.

This would suit you if you:

• Want real ownership, not just tickets
• Enjoy building products, not just features
• Are excited by startups, clean energy and new tech
• Have built things end-to-end (work or side projects)
• Would rather be a big fish in a small pond

How you’d work

• Small founding team
• In-person collaboration ~3 days a week
• Fast decisions, real users, no corporate layers

If you’re looking for:

Ownership + equity + impact + career acceleration this is one of those roles that doesn’t come up often.

Message me for more details (company confidential at this stage).
